Fucking hell Wattpad. Your recommendations feed is fucking awful. 'Readers who enjoy (Rumi x Fem reader) also enjoy these stories'
          	
          	Then proceeds to give me a long list of 'straight to DVD' quality straight novels and fanfics. Like what? Out of all the results you could've recommend me as a result of me reading a decidedly lesbian story search result about love and friendship while slaying demons, not a single one of your recommendations was lesbian storytelling? I miss old school Wattpad. Back when it was still community driven, still had personal messages, and when we didn't constantly get paid books in categories we don't even read shoved down our throats.

It's actually impressive how fast they've screwed their own platform. I've been on the platform for a handful of years, give or take. For a long while I loved it, and then they disabled the private messages, then shortly after the personal feed just went belly up. Nowadays I dread trying to find new stories to read, like it's honestly a pain. When I hyper fixate on a fandom, I ALWAYS read as many of the stories on AO3 as possible, and only turn to Wattpad when the other well has dried out. It's fucking sad, because in the past I barely ever touched AO3 (which was a mistake) but now I'm borderline compelled to do so in order to avoid Wattpad.

Man. I really wish there was a ACOTAR fanfic with a trans female protagonist who's absolutely smitten with Feyre, and who ends up doing the trials with her. Dying and immediately being reborn into the body you've always wished you had would be real damn good, not gonna lie.

Hi please can you update your ancient flames story? I love it. And please continue writing GP stories. I love them. Also can you recommend someone else who writes gp fics or recommend a few GP fics?

Alliebutt

@QueenOkorejior I do indeed plan to continue it. This year has been an up and down roller-coaster, so I just haven't had the time or the energy to write.
            
            As for writing G!P stories, that's very much my plan. I might eventually write a cis story, but I'll be honest. I can't entirely relate to cis women most of the time, but I do have some plans for that in the future.

@_targaryen83_ Shit, yeah. I saw Stark instead of Snow, lmao. Fair accident I'd imagine.
            
            But then I can't guarantee anything. I only watched the first what? 2 or 3 seasons of The Flash? And that was years ago when the show originally began. I don't know if I have the time to have to re-watch everything from scratch in order to write a fic for her. But hey, when I eventually finish some of my other stories, I might give it a go. No promises though.

Hey Allie r any of ur stories gonna be updated soon if u don't mind me asking 

JaKighCooperMoore

@JaKighCooperMoore They will be updated, that much I can promise you. I still have the stories backed up on Google Drive as well, but out of principle I prefer not giving a specific date or time frame.
            
            This year has been incredibly rough for me both in terms of my physical health, as well as my mental health. On top of those issues, I also ran into personal issues that just added extra pressure on my mental health in particular.
            
            So the TLDR: I don't want to give a specific time frame, because life's rough and I don't want to promise y'all something and then not being able to deliver on those promises.

Hi @Alliebutt just found your profile I just wanna ask a question  are you continuing your marvel poly and the 100 eventual poly and the TVD -TO  stories as there the stories you have I’m most excited to see new chapters for when you have them ready of course not rushing you or anything like that anyway keep up the good work 

Alliebutt

@SPARTANOFDEATH2001 There will be vampires who's been with Alex in some capacity over the years, and some vampires she hasn't been with yet but will get together with. Rebekah is a good example of a vampire she hasn't been with, but will get together with once she shows up on the show. Kat on the other hand, she's already had an on and off friends with benefits relationship with over the years.
            
            So to answer the question, yes she's been with vampires in the past, and will be with vampires in the future too.

Fucking hell. Now Wattpad is removing the private messages function, my God. It's almost like they WANT to kill this platform slowly and painfully. I haven't even been on the platform as long as most other people have, but to see how negatively its changed just in the time I've been here? It's distressing if I'm being honest. 
          
          If anyone wants to PM me, feel free to do so on AO3. My username is the same as it is here on Wattpad. At this point, I might just consider going away from writing on Wattpad entirely, and focusing on AO3. At this rate, it's just an inevitable matter of time before Wattpad officially kills their own app, and I don't want all my eggs in a doomed basket.
          
          It's a shame it's gotten to this point, and I'm not holding my breath that it'll get any better. It's sad as hell, as Wattpad has a far better comment system than AO3 does by being able to comment at specific points in the story, rather than just having one comment section for the entire chapter. 

Alliebutt

@Kaiathefox The only other place I would go, would be AO3. So you'd be able to find me there for sure if nothing else. I'll probably cross-post initially, but with the way things are going with Wattpad I couldn't promise I'd keep posting on here, which is a shame because I really want to. But at the end of the day, the only way Wattpad will ever potentially change for the better again, is if people start leaving for good. At that point though, even if they change it might be too little too late.

@Alliebutt I know what you mean I loved wattpad for years now it seem like with all these changes they are doing we are starting to lose some good artists and they are taking their stories with them and it gets frustrating because I had ao3 downloaded on my phone now I can't seem to find it so I feel I'm stuck but then again there are also really good artists on here still that i follow them and their stories and I don't want to lose that but I know alot of people are going somewhere eles and I can't seem to find out where they are going
